Chapter 254 The Secretary Helps Make Furniture
Mu Yi was still impatient and wandered around the township government office early in the morning.
Kang Hongtai: "Muyi, I see you've been wandering around for a long time. Are you looking for something?"
Mu Yi: "Yes. I was looking at things like wooden boards there."
Kang Hongtai quietly pointed to a room next to the broadcast room next to Ma Buqi's room.
Mu Yi looked at it. "Isn't that a room where chickens are kept?"
Kang Hongtai: "Yes. That's the place where the chickens are kept in the house. The structure of that house is the same as ours. They are both separated by two. The chickens are kept in the front, and the rows of chickens that were built by you are stacked in the back.
There are some formwork wood and other sundries left in the house.”
Mu Yi quickly ran over, got close to the window and looked inside. But because the dust on the window was too thick, he couldn't see what was going on inside. He only heard a few chickens crowing inside, and there was also the smell of chicken manure. "Look."
I don’t know, and I don’t know if there are suitable wooden boards inside.”
Kang Hongtai: "Go find Secretary Lamu."
"Good idea." Mu Yi thanked Kang Hongtai.
After a while, Secretary Lamu opened the door and came out with a cup of mouthwash to brush his teeth.
Mu Yi: "Good morning, Secretary Lamu!"
Secretary Lamu: "Good morning, Mu Yi. You weren't drunk yesterday, were you?"
Mu Yi: "I'm so drunk. I just woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep."
Secretary Lamu laughed for a while, squatted under the eaves and started brushing his teeth. After brushing his teeth, he brought out a basin of wash water to wash his face. After washing his face, he picked up the wash water and flushed it against the mouthwash on the ground. The water flow was smooth.
It flowed down the slope of the courtyard dam, turned around and flowed towards the government gate.
Secretary Lamu put the washcloth into the basin. He took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff. Then he slowly exhaled the smoke. "Mu Yi, get used to the life here."
Mu Yi: "I'm used to it, Secretary Lamu."
Secretary Lamu: "Are you homesick?"
Mu Yi: "I still have some thoughts. But I haven't received my salary yet, so I'm embarrassed to go back."
Secretary Lamu smiled: "Salaries are coming soon. This time, September and October wages will be paid together. You can get them before the National Day. The working committee will hold a sports meeting then, and you will be given leave after the sports meeting.
You can go back and see your parents."
Mu Yi: "I may not see my parents when I go back. They are working in Chengdu and there are only two younger brothers at home."
Secretary Lamu: "Oh. Are your brothers older?"
Mu Yi: "The older one is in the third grade of junior high school, and the younger one is in the sixth grade."
Secretary Lamu: "Then you can still take care of yourself."
Mu Yi: "Yeah. It should be fine. Secretary Lamu, where is your family, how many children do you have?"
Secretary Lamu: "I have three children in my family, and they are all studying in the county. The eldest sister is in the second grade of junior high school, the second sister is in the first grade of junior high school, and the youngest son is also in the sixth grade."
Mu Yi: "Who's taking care of them?"
Secretary Lamu: "They take care of themselves and live on campus. By the way, if Mu has any difficulties in life, just tell him. Don't be embarrassed to speak up."
Mu Yi: "Secretary Lamu, I just wanted to report something to you."
Secretary Lamu: "Oh, what's the matter?"
Mu Yi quickly reported to Secretary Lamu that he did not have a barbecue grill and wanted to find some wooden boards or other things to make a barbecue grill.
Secretary Lamu: "Wait a minute. I'll get the key and open the utility room to take a look. There are some debris left over from the house repairs that haven't been taken away. Let's see if there are any suitable wooden boards."
Secretary Lamu took the key and came to the utility room. As soon as he opened the door, several chickens gathered around him thinking they were being fed. The two quickly drove away the chickens and walked to the inner room.
Secretary Lamu: "Look, these are the debris left over from repairing your row of houses. The boss didn't take them away because he had no time to do anything, so he left them here with us and occupied a room. But it's okay, just light a fire in the kitchen."
No need to buy firewood."
As soon as I saw these, they were mostly old rotten wooden boards with cement mortar on them. Some of them had many nails, wires and the like.
Suddenly, Secretary Lamu pulled out an old wooden board that was about one meter long and twenty centimeters wide, relatively flat and covered with cement mortar.
Secretary Lamu: "This board is not bad."
Mu Yi: "Secretary Lamu, there seems to be a board inside."
Secretary Lamu: "This board is almost enough to make a barbecue grill. I will find you some more wood to make legs."
Mu Yi: "Secretary Lamu, I also want to make a small dining table and small stools."
Secretary Lamu: "Okay. Just pull out the quickboard."
Mu took out two wooden boards, and Secretary Lamu helped find three rectangular wooden strips.
Carry these things to the courtyard dam and put them away. Mu Yi is in trouble. What tools should be used to take care of these wood?
Secretary Lamu: "Mu Yi, I have a small hammer at home. You go get it first and pull out the nails on the board. Then knock off the cement shell on the board. Then use a kitchen knife to remove the dirt on the surface.
Plan it clean. I'll lend you a saw and a planer. You don't know which one has it yourself."
Mu Yi: "Thank you so much, Secretary Lamu."
Secretary Lamu went to borrow tools. Muyi picked up a small hammer and slowly pulled out the nails on the wooden strips of the board. Good guy, more than thirty nails were pulled out from this little piece of wood. Except for a few
The roots are relatively straight and outward, while the rest are basically curved.
After pulling out the nails, I knocked on the cement shell above. Most of them fell off with just one knock. But there were some places that couldn't be knocked off. Maybe it was because of molecular motion that got in? Mu Yi had to use his kitchen knife to plan it.
Although the blade of the kitchen knife was damaged very quickly during the planing, which made Mu Yi feel a little distressed. But he was very happy thinking that he would soon be able to make his own grill, small dining table, and small bench. The worst case scenario was to get the damaged blade
Just grind it and it'll be fine.
Soon, Secretary Lamu borrowed a saw, a planer, and a tape measure. Secretary Lamu also took out an old bench from home, pressed the bench against the steps under the eaves, and then helped plan the wood away.
Dirty leather on wooden board.
After being pushed and planed, the dirty outer layers of the two wooden boards were removed, revealing the clean inner layer. The wood grain on them is quite beautiful.
Mu Yi: "Secretary Lamu, please let me do some digging."
Secretary Lamu: "Okay, you can also become a carpenter."
Mu Yi imitated Secretary La Mu to plan the wood strips. However, the push plane in Mu Yi's hands was not as obedient as in Secretary La Mu's hands. The surface of the wood strips planed by Mu Yi was pitted and uneven at all.
It's not flat either.
Secretary Lamu smiled: "How is it? It's not easy to dig, is it?"
Mu nodded.
Secretary Lamu: "Everything is easy to see, but not so easy to do."
Soon the wooden planks were planed by Secretary Lamu. At this time, the maid called Secretary Lamu at the door to go eat noodles.
Secretary Lamu: "Let's go eat some noodles together."
Mu Yi was too embarrassed to eat, so he said, "Secretary Lamu, you go and eat first. I don't want to eat yet."
Secretary Lamu smiled. "Okay, you get it first. I'll eat the noodles and come see you get it."
Secretary Lamu left. Muyi quickly went back to get paper and pen, and measured the wooden planks. Then he took a tape measure to measure the stove. He simply drew a design sketch of the small dining table and grill, and marked the dimensions.
.Then draw lines on the boards and battens. After drawing the lines, pick up the saw and start sawing carefully.
After Secretary Lamu had eaten some noodles, he came out to take a look.
"Yo. It's quite similar to that."
At this time, all the comrades in the village got up. Those who washed themselves, those who cooked, and those who cooked. Everyone made fun of Mu Yi.
Chu Yanhong: "You might as well not call me Mu Yi. We should call you carpenter."
Zhang Gang: "No, no, no, Fifth Sister, you see, his grill is all shaved. It looks like ours. He just randomly trimmed a few boards and nailed them together.
That’s it. He shouldn’t be called a carpenter, he should be called a planer.”
Pan Jianguo: "Why don't you call me a knife?"
Kang Hongtai: "Yidao, that's a surgeon. If you look at that hospital, they say that the surgeon has good skills, so they say he belongs to Zhang Yidao or Li Yidao. Don't make fun of Mu Yi."
Although Mu Yi blushed after being criticized by everyone, it did not affect his mood at all.
I saw him picking up the nails without saying a word. He held the hammer and connected the pieces of materials with nails. At this time, Wen Gengzhi and Secretary Lamu helped him hold the semi-assembly.
Good wooden frame. Mu Yi carefully hammered the nails.
Finally, a brand new grill and small dining table were born in his hands.
There are still two small wooden boards and some thin wooden strips left. The small wooden boards can be used as the seat of the small bench, but the thin wooden strips cannot be used as the legs.
At this time, Secretary Lamu went to get a small piece of strip. He cut it into two small pieces with a saw, and then sawed the two small pieces together from the middle. There were four stool legs. Then he nailed them on with nails.
.
Then he picked up the thin wooden strip and compared it between the two stool legs. He made a mark on the thin wooden strip with his fingernail. He picked up the saw and cut it off. Put the sawed thin wooden strip between the stool legs.
Take the nails and nail them in place. Soon the two small benches are ready.
Secretary Lamu put down his small hammer and looked at Mu Yi proudly.
Chapter completed!
